BLOODLINE: On horses' hooves -- poetically UPDATED
BLOODLINE ; On Horse's Hooves
[DNA results]
I woke to see the sun rise
Blood red
On the Kush mountain tops
I walked the muddy waters
Edge
Of
Uttar Pradesh
My seed was carried
By the fury
Of horses’ hooves
Striking Death's fire
From the place where Sun seeks Day
To new horizons blue
That on fields of green and gold play
I am a soul
Sixty thousand years
Dying on a western shore
As I’ve lived and died
So many times before
